At The Nerd Daily Kistler tagged five novels, both classic and contemporary, that have deployed hurricanes to heighten the drama. One title on the list:
Shutter Island by Dennis LehaneRead about the other entries on the list.
A hurricane is employed to its full thrilling effect in Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. On a small island off the coast of Massachusetts,a murderer has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane, and federal marshals are searching for him as a hurricane bears down upon them. Nothing is quite what it seems, but the approach of the hurricane clearly conveys an eerie sense of foreboding. And when it strikes, its violence reflects all the rage and malevolence unleashed in the story.
Shutter Island is among Alex Michaelides's five best island thrillers and Michelle Adams's five top thrillers in which memory is unreliable, at best.
